Specifically, it suggests that the reconfiguration for a process type (identified by &1 and &2) has not been completed because there are still messages in the process.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that there are messages currently being processed or queued in the system for the specified process type. This can happen if:
  
  There are active workflows or processes that have not yet completed.
  Messages are stuck in the queue due to processing issues or errors.
  The system is attempting to reconfigure a process type while it is still in use.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Messages:
  
  Use transaction codes like SWI1 (Work Item Selection) or SWI2_FREQ (Work Item Overview) to check for any active work items or messages related to the process type in question.
  Identify if there are any messages that are stuck or in error status.
  
  
  
  Process or Delete Stuck Messages:
  
  If you find messages that are stuck, you may need to process them or delete them if they are no longer needed.
  Ensure that any workflows or processes that are using these messages are completed or terminated.
  
  
  
  Monitor Workflow:
  
  Use transaction SWI2 to monitor the workflow and ensure that all instances are completed.
  If necessary, you can manually complete or terminate workflows that are causing the blockage.
  
  
  
  Retry Reconfiguration:
  
  Once you have cleared the messages and ensured that there are no active processes, you can attempt to reconfigure the process type again.
  
  
  
  Check System Logs:
  
  Review system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
